New experience for me!

[Mark Padgett]

Juulie - I worked with a guy Wednesday night who did something I haven't seen before, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. It was a similar situation to yours.

A was up by two with less than 30 seconds to go. There was a timeout. My partner walked over within a few feet of B's huddle and yelled loudly at me across the court, "Be sure to watch for the intentional foul" while making the signal with his hands. Everyone in the gym heard him. At first, I was surprised, but the more I thought about it, the more it didn't seem out of line.

In lower level rec, I have stuck my head into a huddle and said to a coach, "be sure your guys are going for the ball if you are going to foul or it will be intentional - and keep the contact level down." Usually, the coach tells his kids, "Hear that? Make sure you do that."

I like the other way for higher levels.

BTW - still waiting for that email from you on the Fenk issue.
